First, the lip glosses. I changed the resolution a bit on two of them so you could see the color better.  I took them in HD but the resolution isn't that great...sorry about that.

On my upper right lip (top left for you visually) is Paris.

On my upper left lip (top right for you visually) is Cannes

My bottom lip is Nice (pronounced niece  :) )

Where do you live in CA?  Maybe I can get you one???  Not saying I CAN get you one, but I'm happy to check with Lynh for you.

I live around Hayward/Union City/Fremont.. I would say about a little over an hour or so from where you got yours? That would be great if you can ask Lynh.. My friends told me to just go to the event on Friday but I have my mini weekend vacation starting that evening so I don't know how it'll all work out.. 

Edit: To add to my response from earlier: That would be great if you can ask Lynh. If you can't get your hands on another palette then it's okay but I just wanted to say thank you so much  :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> We should do a N. California meet up one of these days!

That tarte palette... I would buy any one of those palettes as an everyday neutral eye/blush. But all four of them together and I partly feel like I MUST HAVE IT NOW, and partly that omg they're all neutral and I have so many neutrals already I don't need it at all. Basically I need to wait for reviews and for someone to tell me what to do.

 
YES LET'S!
we should set up the N. Cal meet up during the Holidays and have a mini secret santa thingy - that would be awesome!!

don't listen to us - 99% of the time all of us are saying "GET IT" haha but Tarte should branch out and try a few fun shades instead of mainly neutrals :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
The only reason I might hold back is because it's entirely neutrals, if it has some fun colors mixed in, I'd be all over it.
I mean... I do have to give it to them that mostly all of their palettes has one (...or a few) pop of color(s) but it's just not enough considering that they make tons of palettes and it's basically the same thing over and over again (ESPECIALLY with their bigger palettes that they make to put in sets). It's just meh considering that 95% of us has a ton of neutral eyeshadows. I can't complain much though since there are other brands who can cater to those fun bold shades. I sold mostly all of my Tarte palettes and only kept the Aqualillies Palette and Gourgeous Getaways Portable Palette Set for that reason. 

Edit to add:

Here is Tarte's "About Us":

"Tarte is a leader in healthy, eco-chic beauty, offering cruelty-free cosmetics infused with skinvigorating™ ingredients like superfruit and plant extracts, vitamins, minerals, essential oils and other naturally-derived ingredients. But it’s not just about what’s in our powerful formulas; it’s what’s not in them that really sets us apart! All of our products are formulated without parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfate, triclosan, synthetic fragrances and gluten, just to name a few."

And here is Urban Decay's "About Us":

Urban Decay is beauty with an edge. Feminine, dangerous and fun, it appeals to women who relish their individuality and dare to express it. From our insane range of velvety Eyeshadows—including the bestselling (and often-copied) Naked Palettes—to our award-winning eye liners, budge-proof mascaras and legendary Makeup Setting Sprays, we've been shaking up the industry for over 15 years.

Just as an example that all makeup companies cater to different things... 

BUT AGAIN, it would be nice if Tarte can shake things up a little ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

...I apologize for the long post haha

Hmm... since I'm asking for MegaPro, I think I can hold off on Away Oui Go. Love the blushes, but I don't need that much brown eyeshadow (just look at my profile pic to see why, haha!). My birthday is in February so I'll just ask for a tarte blush then.

 
Me too!  Mine has not updated in the UPS site though.  I just want to know if it is coming from Florida and when it will be here!
I'm not sure if they ship from various warehouses, but mine is shipping from Southaven, MS which is basically the Miss / Tenn border.

I love Tarte and use their foundation (either Amazonian Clay or Colored Clay), blushes, bronzer, blush-bronzer (from the recent QVC set) and their Lights! Camera! Lashes! mascara daily.  I have two of their eyeshadow quads, which I got in QVC sets and I like, but I was really turned off to their eyeshadows from their 2010 Holiday collection and haven't ordered any (not in a set) since.  I'm sure they revamped the formula by now, but overall those eyeshadows were dry, patchy, hard to blend, and got muddy very quickly.  It was so disappointing after spending $43 on that palette at a time when that was a huge splurge for me and then I hardly ever used it, and now it's just sitting in a drawer.  That's when I switched over to mostly UD shadows.

How is the formula one these new ones??

Thank you!  Mine finally updated that it is in the system and is coming from Southaven, MS also.  No anticpiated arrival date yet.  I am sure it will be a week or so since I am on the West coast.
